Famous quotes containing the words musical and/or instruments:
“Sometimes a musical phrase would perfectly sum up
The mood of a moment. One of those lovelorn sonatas
For wind instruments was riding past on a solemn white horse.
Everybody wondered who the new arrival was.”

How soon they find fit instruments of ill!”
